President Trump does not have the power to unilaterally change Title IX. LGBTQ students continue to be protected from discrimination under federal civil rights law. With the administration's continued cruel anti-trans actions, schools must not waver in their commitment to protecting queer students.

Trump's Title IX Announcement Is Cruel. But It Does Not Change The Law
“Schools can and should continue to include transgender students equally in all educational programs,” writes Chase Strangio.

Trump Has Clubbed Our Tax Code Back Into the Stone Age—Can Congress Fix It?
Lawmakers face a choice: They can continue their vote-pandering through “no tax on” proposals, or they can address the glaring structural flaws in the federal income tax and, in doing so, perhaps save our tax system and our democracy.

And we've gotten extra credit in Harmony! I enjoyed hosting my 22nd town hall meeting that was open to everyone and had no pre-screening of questions. We had great conversations about lowering costs, taking on corruption, and investing in our small towns instead of data centers.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.
